High tea is a trendy thing, whether you're for it or against it! It's also official: the legalization of cannabis in Canada will take place on October 17th. Cannabis is mostly smoked, but it can also be used in cooking—space cakes, omelets, candies, and sweets—as well as brewed into tea; in short, it comes in all forms.
The new trend is said to be “high tea”, meaning tea or infusions made with cannabis.
